Wednesdays 8:00 PM on The CWDr. Harrison Wells Quotes
Harrison: Your father's an extraordinary man. You're lucky to have him.
Barry: I'm lucky to have you, too.
All you proved today, Mr. Ramon, is that you're human. All you proved today is that you loved your brother. And the reason that we all want you to stay is that we love you, too. Now, I am not a parent, but in many ways you have shown me what it is like to have a son.
Barry: I don't understand. I thought that I was helping people by stopping Mardon.
Harrison: Yes, but this new ability of yours, Barry, is dangerous and you only traveled back in time one time. What if you traveled back in time decades, centuries? Imagine the havoc you could wreak.
Barry: But I will have the opportunity to travel back in time in the near future to save my mom. Are you saying I shouldn't?
Harrison: I'm saying how many more people could die if your mother lives.
Harrison: No! Do not tell me. I do not want to know anything about the future you experienced. Nothing.
Barry: Dr. Wells...
Harrison: Barry, time is an extremely fragile construct. Any deviation, no matter how small, could result in a cataclysm.
Do you know how hard it has been to keep all of this from you, especially from you, because the truth is I've grown quite fond of you and in many ways you have shown me what it's like to have a son. Forgive me, but to me you've been dead for centuries.
Cisco: Joe was right. You were there, that night, 15 years ago in Barry's house. You killed Nora Allen.
Harrison: It was never my intention to kill Nora. I was there to kill Barry.
Cisco: Why?! You're his friend. You've been teaching him how to...
Harrison: Go faster, I know. It's a means to an and and I'll tell you why. Because I have been stuck here, marooned here, in this place for 15 long years. The Flash and The Flash's speed, is the key to returning to my world and to my time and no one is going to prevent that from happening.
Cisco: I can help you.
Harrison: You're smart Cisco, but you're not that smart.
Cisco: You're him. You're the Reverse Flash.
Harrison: You and I have never been properly introduced. I am Eobard Thawne.
Cisco: Thawne. Like Eddie.
Harrison: Let's call him a distant relative.
Well, he's taking being targeted by a revenge-seeking metahuman rather well I must say.
Why would anyone want to rob a morgue?
General Eiling: Harrison. You're one of 'em. You're a metahuman.
Harrison: Yes I am. And I protect my own.
General Eiling: Who is that?
Harrison: Now that is an old friend of ours.
Grodd: General
General Eiling: That voice. It's in my head. Dear God.
Grodd: Not God. Grodd.
Harrison: It's difficult for me to admit when I'm wrong, certainly in front of an entire city but also, also to my closest friends. So I hope one day to restore your trust and faith in me.
Barry: That day was today.
Harrison: Do you know why I hired you, Cisco?
Cisco: You said you saw something in me, I know.
Harrison: What I saw was humanity. You and Hartley, Cisco, you're both brilliant. You both have mental [snaps fingers] sparks, but his brilliance subtracted from the experience of working here, whereas your brilliance, your heart, warmth, your humor; it just adds to it. There's no chosen one, Cisco. There's no second or third favorite. There never was. There's just us.
